A video released as part of a lawsuit against police in Millville, Philadelphia, shows an officer forcefully punching a woman in the face four times after he bungled an attempt to arrest her for riding a bike on the sidewalk.
As reported by NBC news, Sheila Stevenson, 42, has filed a civil suit (PDF), alleging police used excessive force, after then-Millville Police Officer Carlo Drogo stopped her one year ago on February 3 2008.
The newly released video shows Drogo attempting to use pepper spray on Stevenson while she is still on the bike, but instead spraying himself in the face.
As Stevenson struggles, a reeling Drogo knocks her off the bike and onto the ground.
Two more cops then arrive and haul Stevenson to the curb, one of them seemingly applying the full force of his upper arm onto her neck and head.
The same cop then thrusts his knee into her back twice, with full force, whilst attempting to handcuff her.
I am not doing nothing, Stevenson screams.
Put your hands behind your back, one of the other officers orders.
Can you not do this? Im not doing nothing! Im not doing nothing, she wails.
Drogo, clearly in great discomfort from using his own pepper spray on himself, then approaches Stevenson after the other officers have restrained her and aggressively punches her in the face and head four times.
Why are you hitting me? Youre hitting me! Why are you hitting me? Stevenson cries out. Why did you hit me and Im handcuffed?
Stevenson was later convicted of resisting arrest.
As noted by NBC10, Drogo resigned from the police department in October for undisclosed reasons. He has previously issued a statement defending his actions and maintaining that Stevensons allegations represent a distortion of the facts.

With the advice of counsel, she plead guilty to resisting arrest and drug charges...

By the way, the ordinance prohibiting the plaintiff from riding her bicycle on the sidewalk was adopted long ago by the City Commission
Riding a bike on the sidewalk ??? Gimme a probable cause break, man !
It appears it was 6:17 and not the middle of the night ... and the area being a high drug area only shows the piss poor policing of the area and everyone walking or riding a bike can't be stopped for that reason unless they're acting in a suspicious manner.
The cop is a liar. The woman was guilty of riding a bicycle while black.
If a thousand men were not to pay their tax bills this year, that would not be a violent and bloody measure, as it would be to pay them, and enable the State to commit violence and shed innocent blood.

This was disgusting.
What I saw was some cops that saw an easy drug bust. Riding a bike on the walk is "probable cause." Three grown men on one skinny broad. They sure cut a figure, don't they?
I think people who use dope are stupid. I stay as far away from that shit as I can. It's all part of the Man's game. Yeah, and I won't argue over your Godgiven right to stuff anything in your mouth or smoke whatever the hell you want.
This stupid woman put herself in the hands of vultures.
In a microcosm, so to speak, here you see just about everything that is wrong with this country. The ignorant fighting with the ignorant while the very ground beneath their feet is stolen from them.
Arguably, it might be better not to police them at all.

Made you say it. :P
The day isn't far removed when a cop won't be able to make a stop without having to worry that the next car to pass will unload a volley of lead into his hollow head.
They're already using two or three cars for traffic stops in some areas. As usual it's the blacks that resist first, and rightly so.

As with a good unit of soldiers in a foreign country in a stupid war, where the man next to you -- and no one else -- can be trusted to do his job, the distinction between "not police" and "enemy" can become a bit blurred. "Winning hearts and minds" is not very high on the agenda.
Hardly fair to blame them for that, and "diversity" makes it worse. The concurrent militarization of the police and the diversification of the United States is not mere coincidence.
But I'm quite sure the distinction will become clearer. "Diversifying" the force assures it.
Question (for you or anybody): Have you or any friends of yours ever done time with niggers?

That might be a good day.

Honestly, I already had you pegged for an alien diversitoid, but I suppose it's nice to have additional confirmation.
Unless you mean naturally so, since they are more violent.
Because someone who has might have an appreciation for both how cops (and DAs) sometimes mistreat people -- and the niggers cops deal with.
Take my greek ex brother-in-law. When he was being prosecuted (killed a guy, drug deal gone bad; he also dealt guns btw) he claimed he resided at our house. We all were very careful in how we answered the cops, and became well acquainted with testilying.
And brother-in-law became even more well acquainted with niggers.

I'd say both, naturally so and rightly so. I'd say there's as much reason to be jaded about the cop as there is to be towards a skinny little woman crack head. Truthfully, I have little use for either of them.

BTW, did I ever tell about the time I had my ribs broken and got a concussion at the hands of some local urban youth while walking on a downtown mall? It was about two years ago.
Nope. But it beats getting cornholed. Brother-in-law, a slight man, will have trouble down there for the rest of his life.
I get your point. But the police are made worse by Diversity; attacks on them usually come from either Bolsheviks or aracial libertarian suck poops. The demands the Bolsheviks make on them are inhuman, as evidenced by things like divorce and suicide.
